Owen Hargeaves is looking forward to playing football again after signing for Manchester City.
The 30-year-old midfielder was released by local rivals Manchester United over the summer after an injury-plagued four years at Old Trafford.
"It's difficult for people from the outside looking in. You would think 'there's something gone wrong there, the guy's made out of glass'," he told City TV
"But anybody who knows me and knows the way I play, I take it very seriously and very professional.
"So I'm just happy that that chapter is behind me and I'm looking forward to just playing football and having fun, having a good time, joining in with the lads and competing again," he added.
Before his move to England, Hargreaves made 145 appearances for Bundesliga side Bayern Munich, helping them win four league titles and a Champions League crown.
